Friday Update – December 7, 2018

Yesterday’s rain caused havoc, however, with the help of the staff and residents, we were able to divert most of the flooding from entering the property. Unfortunately, some water did make it into the garage. This water will eventually evaporate. Please take the time to inspect your storage unit to ensure that no items were damaged or that there is no standing water.

Below are a few additional tips to prepare for the upcoming rain:

All residents should inspect their storage units for damage and remove any items of concern that could potentially be damaged.

Remove all items from your balcony and decks that could potentially blow off with the strong winds.

If you have a lower level deck, please make sure that the drains are clear of debris.

Make sure all windows and balcony doors are shut and secure.

Check all window frames and balcony doors for water intrusion. If you have water intrusion present, please photograph the issue and email Management.

Please contact the front desk if you have any urgent matters to report. Otherwise, please contact the Management Office during business hours if you have any questions or concerns.

Sapphire Annual Toy Drive— ‘Tis the season for giving!

All Sapphire residents are encouraged to join USO San Diego in helping the children of our active duty military families!

Please see the flyer posted in the mailroom for additional details.

Staff Appreciation—Holiday Cheer

While the Association provides eligible staff members with a holiday bonus, most residents request staff information so they can give back to those who make Sapphire such a great place to live! While many residents prefer to hand deliver gifts or cards to specific staff members, please feel free to contact Management to discuss alternative options, if needed. Please see the staff roster below and happy holidays!!!

A&D Fire — 4th Quarterly Fire Inspection

On Wednesday, December 12th, from 8:00am to 5:00pm, the Association’s fire system vendor, A&D Fire, will be onsite to complete the 4th quarterly fire inspection of all common area equipment. This inspection will not involve any residential access but please be advise that technicians will be throughout the common area during this time.

Package Pickup & Disposal

As a courtesy to the front desk staff, we kindly ask that all residents please attempt to retrieve packages as they arrive. With the approaching holidays, the package room becomes extremely full, making it difficult to maneuver around to retrieve other items. Also, please be reminded to break down all boxes and dispose of them in the main refuse room located on P-1. Do not leave boxes in the trash rooms located on the residential floors or place them down the trash chute! Management and the staff appreciate your cooperation!

Winter Reminders

Below are a few helpful reminders in preparation for the upcoming holidays:

¨ Events or gatherings of twenty (20) persons or more require written notice to Management with a minimum 24-hour notice along with a guest list. Please be reminded that Sapphire residents are responsible for all guests, their actions and all noise levels being lowered after 10:00pm. This includes bringing guests in from the balcony.

¨ Please do not place large amounts of food or food such as potato peels, extremely fibrous material like corn husks, celery stalks, onion skins, and artichokes down the disposal. Also, no coffee grounds, grease, oil or fat can be allowed into your garbage disposal or drains.

¨ It is important to remember that all items thrown down the trash chute must be properly bagged. Loose items and trash should not be thrown down the trash chute. Also, glass and recyclables should not be thrown down the trash chute. Small amounts of recyclables can be placed in the blue recycle bins located on each floor, but large amounts must be broken down and placed in the receptacle located in the refuse room on parking level one (1).

¨ The acceptable timeframe for winter holiday decorations for Residential Condominiums is from the day after Thanksgiving until January 2nd. All other decorations must be displayed no more than seven (7) calendar days prior to the day of the holiday, and must be removed within five (5) calendar days after the holiday.

¨ Holiday decorations must be displayed only inside the Residential Unit. Decorations are prohibited within balconies, hallways, Common Area, Association Property or any other area outside of the Residential Unit. Residents may not hang holiday decorations on the outside of any door to their Condominiums. Only fire retardant coated natural trees and artificial trees are permitted within a Condominium.

Christmas Tree Procedures

With the approaching holidays, please keep in mind that Christmas trees must be brought in Monday—Saturday between the hours of 8:00am & 5:30pm, as the trees can be very messy and may require clean up. Also, please make sure that trees are bagged or wrapped when bringing the trees into the property, as this will help eliminate excess debris and cleanup. Management has arranged for a trash container specifically for the disposal of Christmas trees. The container will be located in the P-1 Refuse Room from Tuesday, December 27th, 2016—Monday, January 9th, 2017. We thank you for your cooperation with this matter!
